Why is it when a white attrative female is reported missing it comes out in national TV? Eventhough 100s of different minorities of women and men are reported missing everyday. Is it because the caucasian have more privilege than everyone else or they have the money to broadcast to the nation?

That is a very valid point that has been made over and over again. I remember a time that two black girls went missing. And we did the whole thing, contacting media, the police, there is no reason why it didn't get national attention. They were found in the lake, dead. And that didn't make the news. And it upset me. A great deal. They are children. I don't know why.

You're right, they do profile. And it's not just women. When a teenager runs away, the police do not react unless it's an athlete.

What's your point? Do you know a minority who is missing. Call CNN and let them know. I'm sure they would air it.They don't pay the news people to cover a Caucasian that is missing.It would be hard to pay if you were missing no matter what color you are.

Unfortunately, equality and non-racism is just a dream we're pretending to live in.
